I am wondering if the more knowledgeable folks can explain this...if McClain gets released to waivers and some team picks him up from waivers, that team will pick up his contract correct?

And if no one picks him up from waivers, then the Raiders get stuck with paying him the rest of his guaranteed money, correct?

If this is the case...I wonder if teams would wait for him to go through waivers, given how shady the circumstances are behind his release.
